Of course many persons who bought

"Those persons who have
cashed in their War Stamps or their

money have lost twice the amount they
saved tiecause, no matter what they
bought, they paid nearly twice as much
for it as they would have paid less
than five years from now," said Smith
“Prices have risen more than 100 per

This action was taken as a

News of the steps taken by the order

After adopting resolutions endorsing
the government thrift campaign as a
movement for developing a national
habit of saving and approving const«

for $2,500,000 in War Savings Stamps
for distribution among members of the

Assurances were received from sub

(Editorial)
IN OUR OWN HANDS
Delia brought her car to a stop,
and sat up with a gasp of surprise.
There before her at the bend of the
road was the original of her favorite
picture. She hud not fancied, as she
often admiringly gazed at the beauti-
ful water color of a quaint old house,
that the house could possibly be real.
More wus it like an Idealization of an
artist.
The picture had drawn her from its
first hanging on the walls of the art
store. Since then, it occupied the Best
wall space in Delia's own room.
She had ridden far, lost in her dis-
appointed thought, fur beyond the
well-kept state road into the rough
one of the outskirts. Its unevenness
had passed by unnoticed, as she won
dered for the hundredth time, why
her latest story had failed to please.
Deliu had counted much upon that
story, Heretofore she had been for
túnate in selling, what did this story
lack? If she might go over it again,
wholly concentrating her thoughts.
Delia smiled cynically ; where in the
bubub of her society home might she
find concentration? Now she knew
what had caused her failure, the con
stant call to other things. And as if

She was out of the car in a bound,
a shrewd old Scotswoman coming to
open the deep set door, waited to learn
Delia's errand.
"It is so restful here,” she explain
ed breathlessly. “I wonder if you might
be persuaded to take me for a few
weeks as a boarder?”
The neat Scotswoman considered.
“Well now,” she said, '“I’ll ask
Sandy.”
Sandy, her kindly old husband, was
quickly agreeable.
"What harm,” he asked, “when we
are alone?”
So arrangements were made for
Delia to come upon the following day.
Installed in her hammock back along
the hollyhocks, the Scotswoman left
the girl with one injunction:
“If you see any trespassers,” she
cautioned, “whistle for Sandy. There's
been many lately, coming to filch our
fruit or to fish In our stream. The
stream mustn't be disturbed.”
“I’ll whistle,” Delia promised, nnd
she left her hammock to examine the
stream.
The water color had given no prom
ise of tills stream. It went rippling
merrily on beyond the furthest trees.
It looked invitingly cool on this hot
summer day. Delia was possessed of
an unruly desire herself to dangle a
line and to filch the fine fruit. She
sut still instead, watching a “prize
catch” which came nearer and nearer.
And Just as it came very near, a man's
voice whispered roughly:
“Don't startle him, I'm going to
throw a line,”
The man himself immediately came
Into view ; his khaki trousers were
covered with mud, an old felt hat

"Don’t you dare !” cried Della ; she
clapped her hands to frighten the fish.
The man turned on her Impatiently,
then seeing her flushed cheeks and in
dignantly glowing eyes, he smiled.
"Well—” he began, "what do you
mean by that—"
“I mean." Della answered steadily,
"that you are trespassing and that you
must have read the forbidding signs
outside the wall.”
”1 did.” the man admitted.
“And yet you deliberately came to
fish." She decided to whistle for
Sandy.
“Did you intend.” she added sar-
castically, ‘ to also help yourself to
the fruit?"
"To a few of those choice plums
perhaps." the man replied. He calmly
suited the action to the word.

Essay on a Cow.
A little boy wrote an essay about |
rows and read it in the Connecticut
school society.
The essay reads as
follows: ■ "A cow is an animal with
four legs on the under side. The tail
is no longer than the legs but Is not
nsed to stapd on. The cow kills flies
with her tall. A cow has big ears that
wiggle on hinges, so does her tail. A
cow Is bigger than a calf but not as
big as an elephant. She is made small
so she can go in a barn when no one
is looking. Some cows are black and
some can hook. A dog got hooked.
She tossed the dog that worried the
cat that caught the rat that lived in
the house that Jack built. Black cows
give white milk : so do other cows.
Milkmen sell milk to buy little girls
dresses which they put water in and
chalk. Cows chew cuds and each cow
furnishes her own «
